Once the elder said that, Xiao Lin, Zhao Yu and Tian Xi nodded their heads with visibly calmed expressions appearing in their faces.
Then the short elder who was obviously enjoying the way that he explained things about the beasts to Zhu Lian's group, continued to do so with a broad smile hung in his face all the time. And Xiao Lin and the rest who were taken in all that the elder said nodded their heads as he explained things to them.
After more than two and the half hours of speaking, the elder turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and the rest and said, "Alright lads. I guess I have explained enough. You can return to your rooms now."
Once the elder said that, Zhao Yu and the rest who had marvelous smiles in their faces all because of what the elder told them about the cultivation beasts stored here, nodded their heads and then bowed in gratitude to the elder for really taking his time to lecture them. While the elder only nodded his head and said, "Anytime, lads."
He then continued, "Alright, you can move out now. Let me close this place before any accident happens, or the sect wouldn't like it"
As soon as the the elder said that, Xiao Lin and the rest nodded their heads. Then they turned around and headed towards the door to leave the room with the short elder following them from behind.
As they left, Xiao Lin began to think of how strong he would be if he had all these beasts under him as subjects.
'How powerful would I be? I will be unstoppable.' He said within himself.
Then as he headed towards the door with the others, he began to look left and right at the beasts who only gazed back at him with immense, seemingly inextinguishable rage in their eyes.
Xiao Lin only smiled seeing their rages and then shook his head unhappily, as he really couldn't have all these fearsomely powerful beasts for himself which would become his contracted beasts or mind-controlled beast puppets and help him take over regions and territories.
When they all finally out of the room with the elder closing the door behind him, Zhao Yu and the rest bowed to the elder once again and delightedly gave statements of gratitude to which the elder only nodded his head to and said with a slight smile in his face, "Alright lads, you can return to your rooms now. Go ruminate on what I explained to you, then when you come back here next time, possibly in the nearest future, you will be able to pick the beast that most suit you for yourself.
"Yes elder. We will do that" Zhao Yu said and then turned her head to gaze at both Xiao Lin and Tian Xi and said, "Alright boys, let's go back to our rooms to relax. We have seen enough for today, so we could set out tomorrow once again to take in more things about the sect"
"Yea. That's right. Let's return" Tian Xi said while Xiao Lin nodded his head.
Then as they began to walk in the direction of their room to return to it, a particular thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Lin's mind.
'What if I create many Life Termination slave seals from my Blood Energy and attach it to the minds of the beasts to be able to control them using the multiple, nigh-inseverable connections of my Blood Energy to their minds and the rests of their organs? Hmm. Can that be actually possible, as it is only something that I came up with just now?' Xiao Lin asked within himself.
He then said further inwardly, 'I am really missing by Animal Spirit. Ever since it went to slumber to regain it Spiritual Power which I unintentionally exhausted during my intense battle with an opponent far stronger than me, it hadn't come up once to ask how I am doing. Bastard creature. If not that I am smart and full of wits, I should have lost my life long ago without it support. Anyways, I hope that it wakes from it deep slumber very soon since I am in need of it help. Perhaps what I previously said about creating many undetectable enslavement seals with my Blood Energy could be true. Ugh. I need to create those seals in time and plant them like seeds within the minds of the beasts and nourish them into massively towering trees if is true that I can really perform that kind of deeply marveling feat with my Blood Energy.'
As he was deeply lost in thoughts, he didn't know when Zhao Yu appeared by his side and ruffled his hair with a smiling expression in her face.
The instant that she did that, Xiao Lin instantly came out of his thoughtful state and stared at her with surprise in his face. He then asked, "Zhao Yu, what's wrong?".
"I have been calling you since, but you weren't responding." Zhao Yu said and smirked at him.
She then spoke further by asking, "What were you thinking hard about that you became so lost in your thoughts, huh?"
"Oh really?" Xiao Lin asked with a slight smile appearing in his face.
He then said further, "Well, nothing really. I was just thinking about stuff."
"Hmm. Alright." Zhao Yu said with a nod of her head.
Then before she could speak further, Xiao Lin abruptly asked, "So, Zhao Yu, what were calling me for? Wanted to tell me something paramount?"
"Nah. Not really. Just wanted to tell you that we have had a change of plans. So, instead of going back to our room to do nothing at best, we could go to other places in the sect to check them out and enlighten ourselves more. Hehe" Zhao Yu said while Xiao Lin shook his head.
"What an overly curious Zhao Yu. Now, what are you exceedingly inquisitive about? Care to tell me?" Xiao Lin asked with a full smirk expression in his face.
Immediately Xiao Lin mentioned that, Zhao Yu shook her head and said, "Nothing, Li Huang. Actually, I just wanted us to go round the sect to see more things that we weren't able to see then when we walked in the outer premises of the sect as non-disciples. But now that we have become disciples and are automatically authorized to walk in the inner premises of the sect, we should try to walk around to see more things. We definitely can't return to our shared room now. There's still more time. So, let's go round many more times till evening then we can return to our room. How about that?"
"Hmm. Sounds nice. Alright then. Let's do that." Xiao Lin said while Zhao Yu and Tian Xi nodded their heads. Then they began to walk together on a particular path in a random direction to do more sight-seeing.
After walking for close to two hours with their hearts fully satisfied with the things that they had seen so far, they all prepared to return to their room with smiles in their faces when they suddenly came before the female senior that lost to Zhao Yu during their first discipleship exam, and some other girls who she tagged along with to move to a particular place that they had in mind.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the amazing, top three examinees of this year's batch as mentioned by the blind elders. Haha." She said with a hideous smile in her face, since her face contorted due to the boiling anger and intense dislike in her hearts, and a smile manifesting in her face at the same time.
"Senior, what in hell do you want now? Another round of hurling curses and insults at each other, is that what you want? Why don't you try to respect us for once, then we would respect you back?" Zhao Yu who had disliked this senior since she took things to heart a little more than too much, asked with unbridled anger in her face.
"I should respect you, then you will respect me back? Why? Hahaha! How immensely stupid, untamed and really uncultured of you to say that. Heavens! You guys are already growing wings that need to be clipped and cut, and in fact, burnt to ashes! How dare you develop the guts to say those words to me? Anyways, I won't try to touch you now, I will keep my calm. Then when you filthy and disrespectful little monkeys become actual disciples of the sect, which is after your exceedingly boring discipleship ceremony, you would be thrown into hell where your minds and body will be enshrouded and encompassed at the same time by nothing but hellish PAIN! And by then, you will tremendously regret the stupid and vexatious words that you unrestrainedly rubbed in my face. We shall see very soon, morons. I suggest you brace yourselves for unending rides of torturous pain and sadness, for you will soon get that. Haha!" The female senior called Song Yu, contemptuously said and spitefully spat on the ground before them.. She then left their presence with an aura of great arrogance exuding from her whole body before either Zhao Yu or Xiao Lin could really say or do anything.
